STATISTICS OF ISSUES

N.B. “These statistics—in contrast to the usual
statistics of issues
—comprise not the securities issued
in the various countries, but the credits received
by these countries. Thus, for example, the Russian
loan taken up in London and Paris is listed under
Russia, not Great Britain and France.
